Bon Bon

Peanut Butter Bon Bon with special guest, Oreo

1 1/2 cup Rice Krispies cereal
1 1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unstuffed Oreo cookie crumbs
1/2 cup powdered sugar
~6 oz white baking chocolate
~6 oz dark baking chocolate

Unstuff  Oreo cookies and blend until you make about 1/2 cup crumbs; tossing the nasty Oreo cookie centers, or buy Oreo cookie crumbs if you can find them.  Can't tell you how many cookies as if you really want to prepare these the way I did you'll have to start by making the full version of the Chocolate Cream Pie and save 1/2 the crust mixture (this mix will then be used as 1 cup in place of 1/2 cup of Oreo and 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs).  BUT, should you find yourself with too many Oreos leftover I'll certainly come over and devour the remaining for you so you can stay on your diet!  =) I'm sweet that way. =)

In large bowl stir cereal, peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, Oreo cookie crumbs, and powdered sugar.  Refrigerate for about an hour.  This will make the mix less sticky and easier to manipulate.

Shape crumb mixture into balls. About a teaspoon for each.

In small saucepans gently melt the confectioner's chocolates over low heat (each in a separate pan thank you).  Dip each ball into chocolate, letting excess drip off.  Place on wax paper.  Refrigerate at least 20 minutes or until set.

Yield about 44 pieces, depending on how big your balls are (ok that sounds dirty but you know what I mean! =)
